It's been a busy month, but mainly a month of home improvement, rather than music. I have done a wedding gig, and played the Lyceum Scottish Preview event last weekend.

And I now know how to wear my blue bonnet. I've never been able to get it to look like the others' - it always looked more like a renaissance floppy hat rather than a bonnet. When I arrived at the Lyceum, one of my fellow reenactors accosted me when arrived and started to fidget with my bonnet. "It drives me nuts to see this - it looks like you're wearing a chef's cap!" I expressed my frustration with it too, and blamed the wide head-band. A third member of the unit asked if I was wearing the bonnet from TartanWeb (which he wore), and when I confirmed this, he suggested I turn the headband inside the bonnet. Suddenly, it looked right. And the headband still worked to hold it in place - as if this were the way it were meant to be worn!

Three years in the unit and I finally learn how to wear my damned bonnet.
